Social influences on food choice and dietary change: a sociological attitude

摘要

For someone with a training in social anthropology or sociology a title 'Psycho-social influences on food choice: implications for dietary change' immediately looks a bit odd. The title may seem obvious and perfectly straightforward to some, and in certain respects it is. However, others who look at it from another disciplinary point of view will hesitate; it does not get things quite right. So what I have tried to do in this short paper is describe the sociological attitude which gives rise to thishesitation.
